“THANK YOU MOM” CAMPAIGN

Procter & Gamble’s “Thank You, Mom” campaign in the United States is part of the largest multi-brand commercial initiative in the Company’s history.

The heart of the campaign is a belief that behind every amazing Olympic and Paralympic athlete is an equally amazing mom. P&G thanks those moms, as well as all moms in the U.S., for the great work they do in raising healthy, happy kids.

The “Thank You, Mom” campaign honors moms, celebrates the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and leverages the Company’s broad portfolio of leading brands to drive extensive retail displays and volume.

“THANK YOU MOM” - THE ROLE OF MOMS

Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. But it's also the best. This Procter & Gamble commercial honors everything that all moms do to help their children succeed by showcasing the amazing moms behind Olympic athletes at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The hardest job in the world is truly the best job in the world.

Moms carry us for nine months and then keep on carrying us. Through countless sacrifices they are loving nurturers and selfless providers and motivators as well as chauffeurs and doers of laundry and dishes. Procter & Gamble’s campaign celebrates the role of moms all over the world.

Users were then able to encourage friends and family to do the same, spreading the word to thank and celebrate moms.
